Software development services
for Startups

A tech partner
for
startups
and
startup accelerators

We’re a software development company that helps businesses across the globe bring their products to life. Whether you’re a startup founder or a startup accelerator consultant looking for a trusted technical partner, we’re here for you.

For startups

Launch fast with a proven product development company for startups.

Starting with the challenge you intend to solve, we work with you to analyze the problem and find solutions to best address it.

We prepare a roadmap of our further steps, then move to the product design stage. At this stage we deliver a user experience and user interface that meet your business goals and delight your users. Finally, we help you develop your product and launch it on the market.

We usually start with building an MVP, as this is the most robust approach to product development. However, if you need to build a prototype first, we’d be happy to help you.

For startup accelerators

About 20% of startups fail in their first year. Poor technical implementation is among the top reasons for failure. With 7+ years of experience in development software for startups and a stellar track record, we’re truly a reliable technology partner.

Products we’ve built for Upcall, Shopperations, Pair Finance, Billfront, and other startups have turned their founders into rising stars of top accelerators including Y Combinator, Techstars, and Uptech.

Take
your
pick

Whether you’re looking for a prototype to receive funding, an MVP to validate your product, or a full-fledged solution built from scratch, we’re here to lead you all the way through.

Create a product prototype

Get your product prototype by building a simple test version of your software.

We can create a test version of your product in one of two ways. The first option is to create a clickable prototype. The second option is to prepare an MVP of an MVP, or a so-called Minimum Loveable Product that will demonstrate the core product functionality and design and can help you make a great pitch.

You can get a refined prototype in about 2 months with limited resources and budget.

Build a startup MVP

If you need to validate your business idea fast, think of building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). It takes us about 4 months to deliver an MVP. We use this time to research your business model and market, define a development roadmap, and build a solution.

Our approach allows us to shorten the delivery cycle and win time for you. You’ll get user feedback early on and know exactly what you need to improve first.

Startup product development

We go through seven clear stages seven clear stages to bring your idea to life.

We start with business modelling and requirements engineering to set up business goals. Then we proceed with the UX and UI design stages, resulting in backend and frontend development. Eventually, we take care of infrastructure management.

We ensure that your product meets your “now” needs, but we lay a strong technical foundation so we can scale it seamlessly whenever the time comes.

Applications we can
build together

It’s true that we specialize in web development, but we offer much more.

With RubyGarage, you can build a custom application for mobile, a blockchain solution, a chatbot for social media and voice assistants, or an app with augmented reality.

Check out stories of our
clients’ success

Our clients appreciate the holistic view of startups that we bring to the table. Here are just several stories of how our approach has helped our startup clients launch fast and grow steadily.

Shopperations
An online tool for shopper marketers

One of the co-founders of Shopperations (who has a strong shopper marketer background) came up with the idea to build a custom SaaS product to help her colleagues in retail organize their workflows. RubyGarage was happy to build a product prototype to help the founder succeed in the Uptech and Techstars accelerators and get funded during the seed round stage. Then we brought the entire product to life. We continue to maintain this product and consult on the marketing strategy.

SprinkleBit
A social trading and investment network

Our cooperation with Sprinklebit began with a rescue mission for their mobile app. We enhanced the initial app, streamlined the development process, and laid the foundation for further app scalability. RubyGarage’s contribution helped Sprinklebit successfully get funded and grow dynamically: currently, the platform is supporting over 483 million users across the globe and is exploiting blockchain technology.

Vootex
A social voting application for market validation

Our client reached out to us with an idea to build a social voting mobile app. Our team of business analysts, designers, and developers created an MVP so our client could test the idea and gather user feedback. As a result of market validation, our client was able to successfully shift the target audience to business owners and turn their consumer product into a strong marketing business tool.

Upcall
Outbound call center software for startups

As serial entrepreneurs, Upcall’s founders had fully experienced the challenges of outbound sales. They brought together their expertise and understanding of the market pain points and decided to launch Upcall, a platform that provides on-demand call services. When the founders decided to extend the platform’s feature set, they chose the RubyGarage team. We made the platform scalable and implemented integrations with Intercom, Slack, and Twilio. We also used machine learning tools for voice recognition.

Our startup clients
love working with us

We bring together ideas, people, and technology, which results in the birth of game-changing products. We’re happy to contribute to our customers’ successes.

Olga Yurovski

CEO of Shopperations

RubyGarage exceeded my expectations in many ways. As a first time, non-technical startup founder, I am happy to say that we had a drama-free collaboration. Their leadership and project managers are experienced and pragmatic; they understand startups and offered many helpful business suggestions. Their dedicated team of developers went out of their way to delight me as a customer.

Alexander Wallin

CEO and Founder of SprinkleBit

The finished product is the real deal! Throughout the whole process I felt safe to brainstorm with RubyGarage in a business realm. That safety has fostered a great partnership. One I hope to have with them for a long time. I highly recommend RubyGarage on so many levels.

Vlad Gorodetsky

Founder of Vootex

RubyGarage handled all the design concept for our application. They came up with an idea for how to wrap a market research tool into an appealing and interactive social voting application.

Founder

Founder of Upcall

RubyGarage joined the team a few months after the project was launched. They were able to refactor most of the code and wrote good RSpec tests. We were in constant communication with them. They would communicate on a daily basis and tell us of any outstanding questions they had. I was impressed with their day-to-day reliability.

Scrum metrics
ensure that product development stays on the right track

We follow the Scrum methodology and measure the success of our teams with key metrics. These metrics help us ensure project health, guarantee team performance, stick to the development plan, and identify risks or needs for changes early on.

Team velocity

Our product managers measure the velocity of teams and each team member. This ensures that your project is on track and that we can deliver the expected result within the deadlines.

Predictable burn down

We track completed work against the total work scope. This metric allows us to manage project health and stick to the plan.

Resolution time

We make sure that the time it takes to resolve a task remains consistent over time. If the time to complete development tasks increases, we extend the size of your team.

Software quality

The feature is only completed when it passed all tests and meets customer requirements. That's why we take a complex approach to tracking and analyzing actionable metrics: from tests coverage to customer satisfaction.
